No it's not. You have to hire a lawyer sue someone, and win the lawsuit to get your reward, and then you have to collect it. The state has turned everyone into vigilantes dispensing justice for the unborn.
This decision never had any basis for being brought to the court and subsequently becoming a ruling of the Burger Court in the first place. The courts role as interpreter of constitutionality to one of writing law has its roots in this 73 decision. The actual ruling by chief Justice Burgers court was a decision based on saving the life of the mother which evolved into what we have today. In my opinion this is a states rights issue in that the states have to right to define what constitutes the legal termination of a fetus.
Should Roe vs Wade be overturned, no, it’s too late for that, the federal government needs to acknowledge that the states have the sole right to approve or prohibit the practice, define criteria, and establish their own set of laws regarding the abortion issue. Roe in itself permits the practice, however, it remains the states right to allow it.
Such an odd law. there is no actual enforcement. It just allows citizens to sure people who assist in abortions after 6 weeks. But abortions are private, so I don't understand how that would work and why the clinics are kowtowing to it.
The authoritarian right seeks only to compel conformity and punish dissent at the expense of individual liberty.
That some might perceive abortion to be wrong is personal and subjective and not within the purview of the state.
Conservatives of course place the authority of the state over the liberties of the people.
The conservatives on the Supreme Court just ended Roe v. Wade without lifting a finger. Literally. They refused to act to block a new law in Texas from going into effect, the most restrictive abortion ban in the nation. The Court needed to act by midnight and did not, so this morning millions of Texans woke up in a state in which it’s virtually impossible to legally access an abortion.

Murder is against the law
So anyone in Texas can sue any person who helped facilitate the Murder
Will this law be used to put gun shops out of business?
It’s neither the role nor responsibility of government to compel women to give birth against their will through force of law.
Hence the authoritarian right and big government conservatives.
Rightists need to understand that there’s far more to ‘limited government’ than tax cuts that explode the debt and reckless, irresponsible, unwarranted deregulation.
